1. To change the camera to be in shutter priority, turn the mode dial to S (Shutter Speed). To change the shutter speed, slightly press on the shutter button and the display on the screen should appear. On the screen, you will see what shutter speed, ISO, and aperture the camera is set to. Using the rear dial, you are able to adjust the shutter speed as desired.
2. The faster the shutter speed, the more the subject(s) will appear to be frozen or suspended in air. The slower the shutter speed, the more the subject(s) will appear blurry - able to see motion in the picture. In the pictures taken, I see the images progressively getting more focused and the subjects become suspended in air. 3. Shutter speed can be incredibly useful in many situations. If a photographer wants to capture their subject frozen in mid-air, then a fast shutter speed is ideal ( i.e. 1/1,000) If a more blurred motion look is desired, use a slower shutter speed (i.e. 1/3) to get the blurred effect in the image. To get a smooth look in the image (such as on water), a slower shutter speed is also ideal. 4. Shutter Speed Notes *Shutter Speeds are both a technical and aesthetic choice a photographer needs to make before releasing the shutter. *The shutter inside your camera controls the duration of time the sensor is exposed to light. *Capturing blur or motion in your photograph can emphasize movement and add drama *A fast shutter speed is often utilized to freeze the movement of a subject *A slower shutter speed can be used to show motion and visualize movement *Shutter speeds are expressed as seconds or fractions of seconds (1/8000- 1/4000- 1/2000- 1/1000- 1/500- 1/250) *As a general rule to prevent unintentional camera shake you should avoid handholding your digital cameras at shutter speeds slower than 1/ 2 x Focal length Example: When using a 200mm lens avoid using shutter speed slower than 1/400 *Using a tripod can help eliminate camera shake when using slower shutter speed *The visual blur and suggestion of movement occurs because the subject is moving against a static background *Layering motion of different subjects moving different directions at different speeds can set up interesting dynamics within a photograph *Fast shutter speeds can make normal subjects appear to freeze in the air *When photographing people running relatively close to the camera, a shutter speed of 1/1000 of a second or faster should freeze most motion *The distance the subject is from the camera, the speed of the subject, and the focal length of the lens will affect whether the subject is sharp or blurred *Slower shutter speeds can help convey the idea of motion and movement *Slow shutter speeds combined with panning can help isolate the subject form a busy and distracting background *A tripod combined with a long exposure can capture the fireworks’ trails *Water movement can be emphasized with long exposure
